  @NatWest_Help Can you please advise who I need to contact to stop mail coming to my address that isn’t addressed to me? Potentially previous owners but me returning the mail to the NatWest return address doesn’t seem to be working!

  @NatWest_Help NatWest, your customer service is terrible. 40mins on the phone line then got cut off. Don’t you think if your customer will need to card reader to do bank transfer, you should just automatically send them one, not having to climb a ducking mountain just to get one?

  @Loopify Thought Natwest allowed £1k daily and £5k per month limit to crypto exchanges directly, I know thia doesn't help the op though.

  @MN5424756468736 @NoToDigitalID The notice in the image appears genuine and aligns with NatWest's fraud prevention policies for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000). Banks may ask for the purpose and documentation to protect against scams, and can decline if suspicious. This isn't a total ban on withdrawals but a security measure. Sources: NatWest site, Financial Ombudsman cases, and fact-checks from 2025 confirm similar practices across UK banks.

  @NatWest_Help Why am I still unable to make overpayments to my NatWest mortgage using your online banking app? This is so frustrating when I was advised on 15 Dec it would be fixed within 2-3 working days! So much for banking being via self service. Very poor customer experience

  @NoToDigitalID Might ask for an invoice now to get cash to pay a bill? None of your business banks. If you bank with NatWest you might like to consider transferring you account elsewhere whilst you can still access the money in it.

  UK Mortgage Rates Surge as Middle East Conflict Sparks Inflation Fears UK mortgage rates have reversed weeks of decline as lenders respond to escalating conflict in the Middle East, with HSBC, Nationwide, Virgin Money, NatWest and Coventry Building Society announcing increases of up to 0.25% across fixed-rate products. The repricing marks an abrupt shift in a market that had been steadily improving since late 2025. According to Mortgage Solutions, the average two-year fixed rate residential mortgage has climbed from 4.32% to 4.82% as of 4 March, while the five-year fix rose from 4.94% to 4.96%. The catalyst: soaring oil and gas prices following US and Israeli strikes on Iran that sent energy markets into turmoil. The two-year swap rate rose from 3.33% on 27 February to 3.65% by 6 March, while the five-year swap rate climbed from 3.5% to 3.8%, according to Moneyfacts. Swap rates — the benchmarks lenders use to price fixed mortgages — move in tandem with market expectations for Bank of England policy. In late February, traders had fully priced in two Bank of England rate cuts by the end of 2026, but by 3 March, the chance of two rate cuts had been completely wiped out, according to the HomeOwners Alliance. The shift reflects a brutal recalculation of inflation risk. Since the first US strikes on Iran on Saturday, energy prices have soared, with the oil price increasing to 84$/barrel (Brent Crude) and UK gas prices to 139p/therm (up 15% and 78% respectively since the weekend), NIESR reported. Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow waterway through which a fifth of all global oil flows, according to Al Jazeera. The UK remains heavily dependent on gas for heating and electricity generation. For UK households, wholesale gas prices matter because they are a key driver of domestic energy bills, meaning a prolonged spike could push up costs in the months ahead. UK inflation stood at 3.4% in December 2025, already above the Bank of England's 2% target.

  There needs to be something about Ultra @Revolut but just below private banking I'd love that concierge service NatWest are marketing to me but at Revolut

  When I pushed for answers your team implied I was part of a fraud pattern — despite your own agent’s written warehouse confirmation. PayPal and NatWest can’t help due to direct debit rules. Now pursuing Small Claims Court. All evidence documented.

  @DoctorLFC Natwest Final, I had cried when we were 5 down for 150 and then Yuvi and Kaif pulled it off.
